The teams will play in a sold-out Amon G. Carter Stadium with the Horns looking to improve to 4-0 in Big 12 action. UT and TCU were long-time rivals in the Southwest Conference, but will be playing for just the third time in the last 18 years. The Horned Frogs won in Austin last season. Texas last played at TCU in HORNS WIN THIRD STRAIGHT, DOWN OKLAHOMA IN AT&T RED RIVER RIVALRY: Texas snapped one streak and extended another with its thrilling victory over No. 12/10 Oklahoma on Saturday, Oct. 12 in the annual AT&T Red River Rivalry at the Cotton Bowl. Four different players scored touchdowns as Texas downed the Sooners for the first time since 2009 and won its third-straight game to remain undefeated in Big 12 Conference play. QB Case McCoy, a senior playing in his last game against OU, engineered six scoring drives, Johnathan Gray (123) and Malcolm Brown (123) each topped 100 rushing yards, and the Longhorns scored a pair of non-offensive touchdowns. UT totaled 445 yards of offense, including 255 on the ground, and held on to the ball for 35:15, while limiting Oklahoma to 263 total yards, its lowest output in the series since HORNS SUCCESS AFTER BYE WEEKS: Texas has been successful following regular-season bye weeks in recent years. Since Mack Brown s took over the program in 1998, the Horns have posted a 20-5 (.800) record following regularseason bye weeks. The only defeats came against Texas A&M (38-30, 2007; 12-7, 2006; 20-16, 1999), Arkansas (38-28 in ) and TCU (20-13, 2012). If you include bowl games, in which Brown is 10-4 at Texas, the Horns have posted a 30-9 (.769) mark in the past 16 years when they ve had at least one extra week to prepare. In 10 seasons at North Carolina, Brown was following regular-season bye weeks. Brown has led his teams to victories in 29 of their last 34 games (.853) following regular-season bye weeks (not including bowls). THE TCU SERIES: Texas and TCU will meet for the 84th time on Saturday in the fifth-most-played series in school history. It will mark the third meeting between the teams since 1995, the final season of the Southwest Conference. Texas leads the series, which began in 1897, and holds a 29-9 advantage in games played in Ft. Worth. UT went undefeated in the first 14 games (13-0-1) of the series and began a stretch in 1968 that saw them win 27 of the last 28 games played between the two schools. The teams met last season with TCU upending the Horns, 20-13, in Austin. The only other meeting since the SWC disbanded came in 2007 with the No. 7 Longhorns downing the 19th-ranked Horned Frogs, 34-13, in Austin. Jamaal Charles rushed for 134 yards, while the UT defense forced four turnovers and held the TCU offense to 251 total yards. pgs. 1-5 pg. 2 pg. 2 pg. 4 pg. 6 pgs.5-14 pg. 14 pgs WHAT S INSIDE...

Texas A&M (118 games), Oklahoma (108 games), Baylor (102 games) and Rice (93 games) are the only opponents the Longhorns have faced more than the Horned Frogs. FIRST-AND-GOAL: UT is averaging yards of total offense which ranks No. 37 in the nation. The Horns are averaging yards on the ground (No. 36) and in the air (49th). Texas, which ranks No. 3 in the Big 12 in rushing, will face the top-ranked rushing defense as TCU is yielding yards per game and allowed less than 100 yards four times. Case McCoy made his ninth career start, including second against Oklahoma, in Saturday s the win over the Sooners. He completed 13 of 21 passes for 190 yards, but was most impressive on third down connecting on 8 of 10 attempts for 135 yards. As a team, the Horns were 13 of 20 (65 percent) on third down vs. OU and gained 193 yards (9.65 per play). McCoy has started three times this season in place of David Ash who missed the Ole Miss contest with head and shoulder injuries, but returned vs. Kansas State only to leave at halftime when symptoms of his head injury re-emerged. Ash did not play in the last two games and has been ruled out of the TCU contest. Johnathan Gray leads the team (562) and ranks second in the Big 12 and 36th nationally in rushing (93.7 per game). He is averaging rushing yards over the last five games. Jaxon Shipley leads the team with 32 receptions and ranks fifth in the league at 5.3 per game. Twenty of his receptions have gone for first downs, including two on fourth down plays. Mike Davis has 27 receptions and ranks fourth in the Big 12 with 5.4 per game.

Texas ranks tied for 42nd nationally in red zone touchdowns (14 of 25/56 percent). The nine red zone field goals are tied for 10th-most in the nation. Cedric Reed has been one of the most productive players in the Big 12. He leads the team in tackles (42) and pass breakups (4), ranks tied for first in TFLs (8), and second in both sacks (3.0) and QB pressures (9).

With Hicks injury sophomore Dalton Santos has seen his snaps increase and he has responded with 19 tackles over the last two games. DT Malcom Brown has been a key cog along the line. He had perhaps his best game as a Longhorn against Iowa State. The sophomore had a career-high 10 tackles, including one sack and one TFL, as well as one PBU.

4 Jaxon Shipley has caught a pass in each of his 29 career games. That streak ranks No. 4 on the UT all-time list. Shipley has posted at least five receptions in nine of the last 10 games (three vs. Iowa State, 10/3/13). Case McCoy entered the Oklahoma game having not thrown an interception in his previous 106 pass attempts (dating back to the 2012 Kansas State game). That total ranked tied for fifth (with Chance Mock) on the UT all-time list and sixth on the FBS active list (entering that game). He had his 21st pass picked off by the Sooners. McCoy s 126 passes without an interception rank third in school history. Major Applewhite has the top two marks (156 and 138 in 1999). Daje Johnson s 85-yard punt return for a TD vs. Oklahoma, on his first career attempt, was the fourth-longest in school history and longest since Aaron Ross went 88 yards vs. Missouri in Jordan Shipley (74 yards vs. Colorado in 2009) was the last Longhorn to return a punt for a score. Johnson s return is the secondlongest in the FBS this season. Johnson became the only player in school history with a punt return and rush of more than 80 yards (84 yard TD vs. Baylor in 2012), and one of just three UT players with a punt return of more than 60 yards and rush of 80-plus yards (also James Saxton and Raymond Clayborn). Mike Davis ranks fifth on the UT career receptions list (176) and sixth in receiving As Texas football proceeds through the 21st century, Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium continues to evolve as a state of the-art facility at the forefront of college football. Following the 2008 season, Texas installed FieldTurf as its playing surface and permanent bleachers were added to the south end of the stadium. Combined with the previous year s north end zone project, DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium now has a stadium capacity of 100,119, which is the fifth-largest college stadium in the country and the largest college stadium in the southwest. Prior to the 2013 season, the field surface was replaced and seats throughout the lower bowl were replaced. The north end zone expansion project that was completed prior to the 2008 season featured an upper deck, club seating, an academic center and a war memorial plaza. The expansion added approximately 2,108 club seats and 47 suites. The lower deck of the north end zone was yards (2,351). With a 38-yard TD catch vs. Oklahoma, he moved into a tie for seventh on the UT career TD list with David Thomas (15/ ) and Lovell Pinkney (15/ ). WR/TE John Harris has just five catches on the season, but has made them count. He posted his second touchdown catch of the season at the end of the first half of the Iowa State game. He pulled in the 44-yard Hail Mary from Case McCoy as time expired. Harris is averaging 28.2 yards per reception this season. DE Jackson Jeffcoat has 46 career tackles for loss. He needs 1.0 more to reach the UT career top 10. Tony DeGrate ( ) with 47 is 10th. Jeffcoat has 17 sacks over his last 19 games. He is averaging 0.59 sacks in his 33 career games which ranks No. 7 on the FBS active list (see chart on page 18). OG Mason Walters leads the team with 44 straight starts, which is tied for the second-longest streak in the nation among offensive linemen (45, Gabe Jackson, OG, Mississippi St.). CB Carrington Byndom leads the defense with 32 consecutive starts. Quandre Diggs had his streak of 26 straight starts snapped vs. Kansas State. OT Josh Cochran (shoulder injury) had his streak of his 19 consecutive starts snapped vs. Kansas State and has missed the last three games. BIG PLAY TOUCHDOWNS: With Marcus Johnson s 59-yard TD catch and Daje Johnson s 85-yard punt return for a ROYAL-TEXAS MEMORIAL STADIUM/JAMAIL FIELD RENOVATIONS completed for the 2007 season. Another major upgrade was made prior to 2007, when a new video board was installed at the south end of the stadium. At the time, the scoreboard was the nation s largest high-definition video display board thanks to Daktronics. The $8-million Prostar Video Board is 56 feet high by 134 feet wide. Then after the 2012 season, UT worked with Daktronics to provide an upgrade to the video and audio capabilities in the stadium. In addition, the interior of the Moncrief Athletics Complex, most notably the players lounge, is consistently being upgraded. Prior to 2009, a new academic center was constructed. It is approximately three times the size of the previous center. It features writing, math and computer labs, numerous tutoring areas, a multimedia classroom and academic staff office space. In the summer of 2011, the Longhorns locker room was renovated. It was all part of a $176.5 million renovation project at the stadium. score vs. Oklahoma, Texas has scored nine touchdowns this season on plays of 45 yards or longer and they have been spread UT S 2013 NCAA/BIG 12 RANKINGS TEAM Category NCAA Big 12 Avg./G Rushing Offense Passing Offense Passing Efficiency Total Offense Scoring Offense T Tackles For Loss Allowed_T total Sacks Allowed T Off. 3rd-down Eff % Fumbles Lost 38 T-3 4 total Turnovers Lost total Rushing Defense Pass Defense Pass Efficiency Defense Total Defense Scoring Defense T-65 T Tackles For Loss T Sacks Def. 3rd-down Eff % Net Punting Punt Returns Kickoff Returns Turnover Margin T-15 T Fewest Penalties T-39 T Fewest Penalty Yards INDVIDUAL Category NCAA Big 12 Avg./G All Purpose Johnathan Gray Completion Percentage Case McCoy Field Goal Percentage Anthony Fera Field Goals Per Game Anthony Fera Forced Fumbles Cedric Reed Interceptions Duke Thomas Kickoff Returns Kendall Sanders Sacks Jackson Jeffcoat t Passing Efficiency Case McCoy Punting Anthony Fera Receiving TDs Mike Davis t total Receiving Yards PG Mike Davis Receptions PG Mike Davis Jaxon Shipley Kendall Sanders Rushing Yards PG Johnathan Gray Scoring Anthony Fera Texas Football Notes at TCU [Oct. 26]

INJURY BUG: Injuries have begun to mount for the Longhorns who played without four offensive starters vs. Kansas State and three starters (two offense and one defense) vs. both Iowa State and Oklahoma. QB David Ash (head) has missed 14 of the last 16 quarters of action (Ole Miss game, second half of K-State, ISU and OU games), RT Josh Cochran (shoulder) the last three games and WR Mike Davis (ankle) the K-State game. Ash has been ruled out for the TCU game with lingering effects from his head injury. The Horns were dealt a severe blow when it was announced on Sunday, Sept. 22 that junior LB Jordan Hicks, the team s leading tackler (41) at the time, will miss the rest of the season after rupturing his Achilles tendon against Kansas State. Hicks appeared to be back to his old form after missing the final 10 games of 2012 with a hip ailment. He had at least seven tackles in each of the first four games and his 32 career games played lead the linebacking corps. In addition, WR/RB Daje Johnson (ankle) missed nearly all of the BYU game and each of the next two contests, but returned vs. ISU. TE Greg Daniels (foot) was injured against Ole Miss and missed the K-State contest. Reserve CB Sheroid Evans tore an ACL in the Iowa State game and is lost for the season. S Adrian Phillips (stinger) and LB Dalton Santos (elbow) missed some of the OU game, but hope to return vs. TCU. FIRST NATIONAL TITLE TO BE RECOGNIZED: Throughout the 2013 season, the Longhorns will recognize the 1963 National Championship team which went a perfect 11-0 under head coach Darrell K Royal. The Horns ascended to No. 1 in the polls after knocking off topranked Oklahoma, 28-7, in their annual 13 OF 14 IN THE BCS showdown on Oct. 12. UT went on to down No. 2 Navy, 28-6, in the Cotton Bowl. Several former players were present during a ceremony during the first quarter of the New Mexico State game. In addition, player numbers were placed above the Longhorn on the game helmets, as they were during the 1963 season. Following the New Mexico State game, the players voted to keep them on the helmets for the remainder of the 2013 season. 16TH YEAR UNDER MACK BROWN: Mack Brown, who is in his 16th season at Texas, is just the fourth coach in the 121 years of Texas football to lead the team for at least a decade and just the second coach to win 100 games while at the school. Darrell Royal, who won 167 games ( ), has the longest tenure at 20 years. Brown is the first coach in UT history to post more than 200 victories during a career (154 at Texas). Brown moved ahead of Fred Akers, who posted 86 wins from , during the 2006 season. Texas Most Victories at UT 1. Darrell Royal Mack Brown Fred Akers 86 Texas Seasons at UT (Completed) 1.
